National Library Week

To bring awareness to the issue of Banned Books, our staff have come up with trivia questions pertaining to banned books in our library's collection. See the attachment for the trivia questions if you're interested in trying to solve one for a prize! If you can decipher the question, find the book in our catalogue, locate it on the shelf by its call number, and bring it to the front desk, you will receive a goodie bag of prizes! If you need any hints, you can "ask the audience" (Google) or "phone a friend" (ask the front desk staff for help). The trivia will last for as many days as it takes for all of the questions to be solved, so come on by today and take a swing at it and learn about banned books!
